Pepsi Amphitheater
Flagstaff, AZ
Doors: 6 pm | Show: 8 pm
Low-Key Vibes, Great Live Music
Tucked into the pines just outside Flagstaff, the Pepsi Amphitheater is about as relaxed as concert venues get. It’s open-air, easy to navigate, and gives you options – grab a seat up close or hang back on the lawn and take it all in. The cooler mountain weather doesn’t hurt either, especially coming from the Phoenix heat. It’s the kind of place where you can actually enjoy the music without feeling packed in, which makes the whole night feel a lot more easygoing.
The Perfect Mother’s Day Gift
Few things say “I appreciate you” like shared experiences, and Billy Currington’s show delivers exactly that. With a career spanning nearly two decades, he has become one of country music’s most beloved voices. Known for his smooth vocals and heartfelt songwriting, he’s responsible for 12 No. 1 hits, including fan favorites like:
- “People Are Crazy” (4X Platinum)
- “Must Be Doin’ Somethin’ Right” (4X Platinum)
- “Good Directions” (4X Platinum)
- “Do I Make You Wanna” (Double Platinum)
His music blends feel-good summer energy with deeply emotional storytelling, making it the perfect soundtrack for a special weekend with mom.
Reserved tickets: $115.50
Pit/Lawn: $64.50
*Prices increase $10 week of the show.
